A recent visitor to the sanctuary wore a pair of boots that really caught Jamie’s eye, so you can imagine how excited we all were when those very boots were included in a care package that arrived earlier this week. As is Jamie’s preference, we started by modeling them and she was instantly enamored. Did she remember them? I would bet money on it. She seems to have a photographic memory when it comes to boots.

Today was sponsored by Joan O’Flaherty in honor of her parents, Ned and Noreen O’Flaherty. Joan lovingly sponsors this day annually in their memory and shared this message about today:

“As always – This is my parents shared birthday, they loved animals and supported conservation and would be delighted that the chimpanzees are in a safe, comfortable and loving home.”

Joan, we’re so touched by your inclusion of the chimpanzees in the celebration of your parents’ wonderful legacy each year. It’s inspiring that you honor them in such a compassionate way. Thank you for the difference you make in the chimps’ lives.
